Shipfox

Connect ClickUp to a Shipfox workspace

Authorize one ClickUp workspace with a dedicated account, then verify event and tool access.

Connect ClickUp when a workflow needs task events or ClickUp tools. See the ClickUp overview for its capabilities and access boundary.

Before you begin

You need access to workspace integration settings. You also need a ClickUp account that can authorize Shipfox for the target ClickUp workspace.

Use a dedicated ClickUp user account as a service account, not a personal account. Name it Shipfox so its actions are easy to identify, and grant it only the access it needs.

Shipfox acts on behalf of this account. Its ClickUp permissions determine which resources Shipfox can use and which events it can receive. A dedicated account also avoids tying event delivery to one person's employment or account status.

Authorize ClickUp

Start the integration connection

Open Settings → Integrations in the Shipfox workspace. Select ClickUp, then start the integration connection.

Sign in with the dedicated account

Sign in to ClickUp with the service account. Review its ClickUp permissions before authorizing Shipfox.

Authorize one ClickUp workspace

Select exactly one ClickUp workspace. The integration connection cannot be created when the authorization returns zero or several workspaces.

Record the integration connection slug

Open the new integration connection's menu. Select Use this integration. Copy the slug from the event or tool example. Workflows use the slug as source or connection.

Shipfox searches and receives events from the workspace you selected. A workflow can still update a task in another workspace when it supplies that task's ID and the connected account has access.

Verify the integration connection

Open Settings → Integrations. Check that the ClickUp integration connection is active and advertises Events and Agent tools.

Create a safe task or comment that the dedicated account can see. Confirm that the event appears under Settings → Events. If you test a write tool, confirm that ClickUp attributes the change to the dedicated account.

If events or tools stop working

Select Delete integration for the ClickUp integration connection. Then connect it again with the dedicated account. ClickUp does not provide an in-place recovery flow. Shipfox does not replay events missed before the new integration connection.
